Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington has stirred significant attention in the WNBA community by publicly accusing her former girlfriend, Las Vegas Aces forward NaLyssa Smith, of infidelity with multiple players. Carrington made the revelations on Threads, directly naming Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye among the alleged partners.
Previously, Carrington had grabbed headlines for incidents such as an altercation with Fever’s Caitlin Clark and a postgame dispute with columnist Christine Brennan. This latest controversy highlights the personal and professional intertwining lives of these athletes.
The relationship between Carrington and Smith began during their college years at Baylor and continued as they both entered the WNBA. The duo briefly played together for the Dallas Wings in the 2025 season, after which Smith joined the Las Vegas Aces. When they announced their breakup, it was noted as an amicable separation, with Carrington stating they “grew in different directions.”
Deja Kelly and Aaliyah Nye, both linked to the accusations, have not yet made any public statements on the matter. The allegations have created a stir, presenting a contrasting narrative to the previously harmonious portrayal of Carrington and Smith’s relationship.
The tension is likely to carry over into the games, with Carrington scheduled to face Smith and Kelly on August 1, and Nye on September 19, during upcoming matches.
